Semi-Feral Mercy...

[tollermom]

Jen and I have a gig at the Claddagh Irish Pub in Plainfield, IN, on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving (7-10 pm... join us!!). This would have been a full Wild Mercy gig but for the fact that Barry and Sally will be five states away at the time and we haven't yet perfected the transporter.

This, of course, has led to discussions of "What do we call ourselves when we're only half the band?" A variety of names were bandied about and mostly discarded, and the gig flyers are for Half-Wild Mercy, 'cause I was out of time and I wanted something that made it clear that it wasn't the whole band for that night.

I stopped by Barry and Sally's to pick up the keyboard last night, and Sally tossed out a new idea, which led to this discussion via text message w/ Jen...

Me: Sally posits that half-wild mercy is semi-feral mercy. This amuses me.

Jen: Should we behave differently as half-wide than as semi-feral? Or, for that matter, differently than when we are fully Wild Mercy?

Me: Well, both variants sound like we're at least partially civilized... or we have the potential to be. Of course, it also allows us to be much less predictable. :-)

Jen: Bwahahahaaa!

So, ladies and gentlemen, I give you... Semi-Feral Mercy!

When two of the three members of Tempered Glass are performing, we use Short-Tempered Glass. The most recent gig was last weekend at Orycon; I had to bite my tongue to keep from mentioning that I was the short one in the group.

LOL!

I'm discovering that the quest for alternate band names is half the fun.

When Tempered Glass has to perform without all three of its members, we call the result Short-Tempered Glass. When it performs with a substitute instead of one of its members, it becomes Temporary Glass. :)

We had fun when Wild Mercy and Bed & Breakfast (Bill and Brenda Sutton) combined forces for a gig. We went with Wild Breakfast for the joint band name, but decided that if we ever played a more *ahem* adult-oriented venue (this particular gig was at the library) we'd have to try out being Bed and Mercy. :-)

Fun with band names!

Entertainingly, our new band pictures are in front of a stone rose window so big that it could _be_ a Rose Gate. :-)
